Those who have sidestepped (even inadvertently) the authority of a fully sufficient Bible have strayed in two opposite directions. The Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and authoritarian cults have wrongly given autonomy and final authority to the Church… At the other end of the spectrum are those who, in reaction to an authoritarian church, have skirted a fully sufficient Bible by giving autonomy and final authority to the individual’s conscience and reason. They assert that every believer has the unfettered right to interpret the Scriptures not only for himself but by himself. Interpretation, according to this view, is strictly an individual matter.

INSTRUCTIONS

Skin and clean possum or bandicoot, then quarter the animal*. Place it in a
large pot or camp oven along with water and salt. Cover and simmer gently
for 3 or 4 hours. (Tough little devils apparently.) Add vegetables and
simmer for another 1 1/2 hours (Still tough. Even the vegies are resisting
being associated with this.) Strain soup through a large holed colander
when meat has left bone and remove bones, especially small ones. Return
soup to the pot and add parsley and celery leaves. Thicken with a little
flour or gravox. Cut fried bread into 1 inch squares and serve soup over
toast,boiling hot.
* For those of you that haven't met a bandicoot, it is something between a
possum and a raccoon, sort of, I think, maybe. *Video tape this please. I
have no idea how to do it. Also, for this recipe, "first you have to catch
a possum or bandicoot", but then that's another story. *Tin of corn? Well a
can I guess, 16 oz. *Now, when you boil this meat for 5 1/2 hours, strain
it and throw it away, it does make me wonder what the critter adds to the
recipe. *Gravox is a meat concentrate seasoning I think. The dish must be
need some flavor. *Fry the bread any way you want to. No hints given. It
could be toast, buttered bread that is fried in a pan, or maybe deep fried
in some fashion. *All things considered, a brick or stone would be an
alternative if you don't happen to have a possum or bandicoot available.
